That was like the first, you know observation that I made and then I On top of that in 2020 I took a boxing and I noticed that without a little bit of carbs in my system I would yeah, I would bonk I would just get like

It's like gone now.

It was a short-lived hobby of mine.

I was like sparring one day with my trainer and I got hit in the head and I was like, nope, I'm out.

Yeah, I agree with that.

But I also think it's like important to, you know, people, people literally are out there on social media, fear mongering fruit and, and carbs.

And, you know, I mean, carbohydrates are muscle sparing, right?

They're protein sparing.

They underneath the bucket of carbohydrates, you have fiber.

And fiber, even though it's a non-digestible carbohydrate, I mean, it's still counted, not maybe in terms of net carbohydrates, but like a net carbohydrate contribution, but it's still like a form of carb.

And and yeah, so I just I noticed that like, you know, people when you eat carbs, it keeps your muscles full, right?

Like I think people think of you as like the protein queen, but you came into my house asking for carbs.

Are you a fan of CGMs?

yeah i would agree with that okay so when optimizing for skeletal muscle protein you would say is where we ought to put most of our effort because most people tend to be under consuming protein these days yes especially because um protein is set at a minimum and you know this is so fun that we get a chat

The field of Alzheimer's, maybe, but... But, I mean, come on.

Yeah.

I don't know of any.

And by the way, you're not the only one.

I mean, many, many experts are saying.

Well, those journalists don't seem like they know very much about muscle protein synthesis and about, I mean, I would even go so far as to say science because it's like, you know, thanks to your advocacy and the work of your mentor, Don Lehman.
